I'm looking for an advice from someone who has experience with HEL airport.

I am not a EU citizen. On June 7th (Thursday) afternoon I will have 1 hour and 20 minutes in HEL between my non-Schengen flights: arriving at 15:15 on Finnair from England and departing at 16:35 on Belavia to Belarus.

Do I have enough time to exit through immigration, collect my luggage, re-check it to my Belavia flight, then enter the international area back and be on time for my departure flight?

Oh, and I am oneWorld Sapphire (AA Platinum), maybe there will be expedited security line on my way back inside?

Most likely youŽll make it, but with bags needing to be collected and re-checked, you have no time to lose. Do ask Finnair in UK to through-check your bags all the way to your final destination. They should be able to do that.

Thank you for the reply! But I won't be able to check my bag in England: my complete itinerary is AUS-JFK-LHR-HEL-MSQ, AA-AA-AY-B2. So I guess it is going to be carry on only this time :) No biggie.
